Scalloping
The sea scallop fishery is the largest and most valuable wild scallop fishery in the world, and in 2007 was the most valuable single-species fishery in the United States. Recent landings have been worth about $400 million dock-side, with major landing ports at New Bedford, Massachusetts, Cape May, N.J., and Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Scallops are trawled or dredged, and quickly returned to port or shucked at sea and kept on ice for the trip ashore. American sea scallopers fish from the Grand Banks to Virginia. Boats fish year round when regulations allow, with boats fishing in 30-40 fathoms for the most part.The commercial scallop fishery in the USA is heavily regulated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Crabbing
Blue Crabs
Blue crabs are fished commercially in may areas of the USA, but the heart of the fishery is from New Jersey down to North Carolina. The bulk of the crabbing occurs in the Chesapeake Bay. Watermen set pots, bank traps, trot lines or dredge for crabs, depending on the season and location. Hard crabs are the main target, although a big market in some areas is the soft crab fishery. Crabs near molting, called "shedders" or "peelers" are caught and kept in captivity until they shed their hard shell. The soft crabs are then rushed to market fresh, or frozen for later sale.
Alaskan Crabs
Several species of crabs are harvested along the coast of Alaska and Western Canada. The fishery is known for its danger, cold weather, potential big profits and loss of life. The popular television series "Deadliest Catch" has brought international recognition to the commercial fleets crab the area.
Among them, the king crab, snow crab and dungeness crabs. King crabs are the largest crabs caught in the world.

Groundfishing - Trawling
Trawls include gear consisting of a net that is towed. Types of trawls include beam trawls, pair trawls, Danish seines, Scottish seines and others.
Beam trawls are the most common type of trawl gear. The rig consists of a twine bag attached to a beam attached to a towing wire. The gear is designed to slide along the bottom rather than dredge the bottom.
Trawling is one of the most common methods of commercial fishing. The bulk of U.S.East Coast trawling occurs off the coast of New England, Boats fishing out of ports such as New Bedford and Gloucester Massachusetts harvest cod, haddock, pollock, whiting, red hake, summer flounder, yellowtail flounder, redfish, monkfish and more. Along the Mid-Atlantic coast, similar boats trawl for flounder, sea bass and other species.
New technology is allowing fishermen, scientists and net makers to create more efficient gear. In 2007, Captain Phil Ruhle was recognized along with David Beutel and Laura Scrobe from the University of Rhode Island, and fellow fishermen James O'Grady and Phil Ruhle, Jr., as the grand prize winners of the 2007 World Wildlife Fund's International Smart Gear Competition. The award credited this team for designing the new trawl, developed under the copyrighted name "The Eliminator," which proved highly effective at reducing bycatch.
On July 23, 2008, Captain Ruhle perished when his fishing vessel, the F/V SEA BREEZE, capsized and sank off New Jersey. Renaming the new gear the Ruhle Trawl is to honor Captain Ruhle as a significant contributor to the development of this gear and an innovator in the fishing industry.

Shrimping
Shrimping is another important American commercial industry. Separate shrimp fisheries exist in the Gulf of Maine, North Carolina thru Texas, and in the Pacific Northwest.
Types of Commercial Fishing Boats
Deadrise BoatsIn many parts of the USA and Canada these are popular commercial fishing boats. Deadrise boats have very little V or deadrise at the stern, but the amount of deadrise tapers to a very sharp entry point. Deadrise boats may have a cabin or be open and there are many variations of stern shapes, bow flare, engine configurations, cabin layouts and other features.
Lobster Boats
These popular boats are easy to spot. They feature rounded bottoms at the stern, and a sharply rising bow, usually with a cabin located forward. Lobster boats are often powered with small diesel engines which make them extremely efficient.
Pangas
Pangas are used in many parts of the world. They are long sleek and narrow open boats, best used for small payloads in sheltered areas.

US commercial fishing operations accounted for 111,000 jobs and generated $9.1 billion in sales in 2006
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) report, "Fisheries Economics in the United States," found that in 2006 US commercial fishing operations accounted for 111,000 jobs in 2006 and generated $9.1 billion in sales. The report shows that an additional 106,000 jobs existed in seafood processing and 159,000 in seafood wholesale and distribution. Seafood processing and distribution generated $14.9 and
$19.0 billion in sales, respectively. The largest sector of the commercial fishing related industry was the retail sector which accounted for 1,131,000 million jobs and nearly $60 billion in sales.
The document provides data on sales, income and job figures for each coastal state. The highest amount of sales generated by the commercial fishing industry were in California ($9.8 billion), Florida ($5.2 billion), Massachusetts ($4.4 billion), Washington ($3.8 billion), and Alaska ($3 billion). The most jobs were generated in California (179,000), Florida (103,000), Massachusetts (83,000), Washington (75,000) and Texas (47,000).
In a press release Jim Balsiger, NOAA's acting Assistant Administrator for NMFS, said that "the report documents clearly that managing fisheries sustainably is good for the environment and the economy. Fishing helps create a substantial number of jobs around the nation."

USA Commercial Fishing Regulations
Commercial fishermen face an ever increasing array of regulations. This list highlights just some of the issues that American commercial fishermen are subject to.Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Programs
Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) programs are a type of limited access privilege program (LAPP), which provide individual fishermen or corporations the exclusive privilege to harvest a certain percentage of the total allowable catch (TAC) of a fishery. IFQ programs allow individual licenses or "shares" to be bought and sold in the marketplace. Market-based fishery management programs are recognized as as an effective way match the amount of fishing capacity in a fishery with the amount of fish that may be taken by the fishery. A priority of the Bush Administration outlined in the Ocean Action Plan is to double the number of LAPPs by the year 2010.
HACCP
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires all seafood dealers and processors that sell histamine-forming fish to follow strict monitoring and control procedures to prevent the development of histamine. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a food safety program dealers and processors use to protect their seafood against bacterial, chemical or physical hazards that could harm consumers.
Vessel Monitoring Systems
NMFS uses Vessel Monitoring Systems in several commercial fisheries. Systems track a vessel from port to the fishing area and back, recording the areas where seafood is harvested.
"We are increasingly relying on satellite technology to monitor fishing near closed areas, and this decision supports the hard work that NOAA Fisheries enforcement agents put in to protect marine fisheries for honest fishermen." - Bill Hogarth, former NOAA Fisheries director
Seafood Certification Programs
Marine Stewardship Council
The Marine Stewardship Council is an international non-profit organization promoting solutions to the problem of overfishing. The MSC runs the world's leading independent eco-label for wild-capture fish. It is the only seafood eco-label that is consistent with both UN FAO guidelines for fisheries certification and the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Setting Social and Environmental Standards. In total, around 80 fisheries are engaged in the MSC program with 26 certified, 41 under assessment and another 20 to 30 in confidential pre-assessment. Together these fisheries record annual catches of over four million tons of seafood. They represent 42 percent of the world's wild salmon catch, 40 percent of the world's prime whitefish catch, and 18 percent of the world's lobster catches for human consumption. Worldwide, over 1,000 seafood products from certified fisheries now bear the blue MSC eco-label. For more information, please visit www.msc.org.

More on IFQ Programs
Studying over 11,000 fisheries worldwide, researchers led by scientists from the University of California, Santa Barbara, found that countries that had effectively privatized their fish stock by doling out quotas to individual fishermen were half as likely to experience a collapse as those that did not.
"The idea is that by securing access for individuals or select groups for a long period of time, they have an incentive to steward the resources," explains the study's lead author, Christopher Costello, a resource economist at U.C. Santa Barbara. "If they overharvest or destroy habitat today, they will have a less vibrant stock in the future, and thus lower future profits.

USA Recreational Saltwater Fishing
Marine recreational anglers caught more than 468 million fish in 2007,
down slightly from last year's historic high of 475 million fish, but
still the second highest recreational catch total in the last ten
years. The overall number of fish caught and kept also declined
slightly, from 214 million to 196 million fish, according to NOAA
Fisheries Service.
The 2007 data demonstrates a widespread turn toward "catch and
release" among recreational anglers. While anglers are catching about
27 percent more fish than a decade ago, they are also releasing more
fish than they keep. Of the 468 million fish caught by anglers in
2007, 272 million or 58 percent were released alive. The percentage of
fish released into the environment has increased steadily from about
51 percent in 1993.
Spotted seatrout was the most popular catch among marine recreational
anglers. The species is caught in the Gulf of Mexico and the south
Atlantic regions, which have the highest combined concentration of
saltwater anglers in the nation. The top catches in other regions were
lane snapper (Caribbean), striped bass (North Atlantic), Atlantic
croaker (Mid-Atlantic), chub mackerel (Pacific), black rockfish (
Pacific Northwest), and bigeye scad (Western Pacific).

Stricter USA Commercial Fishing Vessel Regulations Likely
On March 21, 2008 the Bush Administration approved an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) as part of a regulatory effort to develop amendments to United States Coast Guard commercial fishing industry vessel regulations. The ANPRM will be published in the Federal Register. The ANPRM announces the Coast Guard's intention to solicit feedback from the commercial fishing industry prior to developing additional regulations.
The proposed changes would enhance maritime safety by adding new requirements for vessel stability and watertight integrity, stability training and assessments, vessel maintenance and self-examinations, immersion suits, crew preparedness, safety training, emergency preparation, safety and training personnel, safety equipment, and documentation. Miscellaneous conforming, clarifying, and other administrative changes are also contemplated. Comments and related material must reach the Docket Management Facility on or before July 29, 2008.

America's Most Dangerous Job
Commercial fishing is the United States' deadliest occupation, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Fishermen recorded the highest occupational fatality rate of 111.8 per 100,000 workers in 2007. There were 39 commercial fishing and hunting deaths in 2007, down from 51 deaths in 2006.
West Coast crabbing vessels continue to have the highest fatality rate of any West Coast fishery.
The Coast Guard, citing fatality studies by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, considers the Dungeness fishery as the most dangerous in the Northwest.
Between 2000 and 2006, when 17 Dungeness crabbers died in capsizings and other accidents.
